John was the son of Mark and Mary Anthon; husband of Susan Grigsby Anthon; and father of William, Mary, John W, Charles, Luther, Robert, George, and Mildred. Born in Spotsyvania, Virginia in about 1819, John was a farmer.
Oldest son William Anthon married Mary Margaret Fritter in December 1870, raised their children in Stafford County, but moved to Baltimore before the turn of the century.
A fire burned down John Anthon's barn in April 1884. His property was near Captain Dan Lee's "Highland Home". Three horses, a number of agricultural implements and a lot of fodder were burned up. The loss was estimated to be about $650 and fell heavily on Mr. Anthon who was a hardworking man with limited circumstances and no insurance.
On Thursday, August 6, 1896, the Fredericksburg Freelance newspaper reported that John Anthon died after a lingering illness at his home near Leeland, Stafford County on Monday. He was an upright and highly respected citizen, and for many years a steward of New Hope Methodist Church. His remains were interred in the family burying ground beside his wife.
